Budget Lessons[size=10]


BRILLIANTLY EXPLAINED......
This
rather brilliantly cuts thru all the political doublespeak we get.
It puts it
into a much better perspective.

Lesson # 1:

* U.S. Tax revenue:
$2,170,000,000,000
* Fed budget: $3,820,000,000,000
* New debt: $
1,650,000,000,000
* National debt: $14,271,000,000,000
* Recent budget
cuts: $ 38,500,000,000

Let's now remove 8 zeros and pretend it's a
household budget:

* Annual family income: $21,700
* Money the family
spent: $38,200
* New debt on the credit card: $16,500
* Outstanding
balance on the credit card: $142,710
* Total budget cuts so far:
$38.50

Got It ?????

OK now Lesson # 2: Here's another way to look
at the Debt Ceiling:

Let's say, You come home from work and find there
has been a sewer
backup in your neighborhood....and your home has sewage all
the way up
to your ceilings.

What do you think you should do
......

Raise the ceilings, or pump out the S…..?

Your choice is coming NOV
